Sometimes I have the same problem with the warm-water species. They will try to take the bait but are unable and will flip back and forth 180* around the bait as a pivot point. If I'm not watching it happen, they're able to take it. It tends to happen when I'm looking directly down the hole.

It also happens at times in underwater camera mode.

I made all those guest posts and I'm still having the same issues. Big trout will not bite. I caught my 2nd lake trout ever today; a 12 incher( on magical mystery lure).

I have purchased the full version of the game and that is the one I have issues with. I didn't even try salmo lake till I purchased the game. Eagle lake got me addicted.

I average about 6 rainbows a day if I fish exclusively for them. Lakers I can't catch at all. 2 small lakers caught in many many tourney's fishing them. I think I"m up over 35 days fished exclusively for lake trout. Put a live minow or magical lure in front of thier noses to watch them strike at it endlessly and never hit it. At least 1 in 30 rainbow strikes get the bait so I pretty much just take that as the challenge of salmo lake. My record is 11 rainbows in one day.

Eagle lake:

pike: 24 in one daywalleye: 26 in one day

I'd be happy with 1 or 2 lakers a day, but 2 in 35+ days is a bit insane.

I'm looking into this. I haven't been able to duplicate the problem yet - so far the lakers seem to bite as well as any other fish for me, so there must be some condition that triggers this. I'll let you know what I find.
